Mt Charleston

Mt Charleston

While Grandma and Grandpa were here this week we decided to take a day trip to Mt. Charleston.  Curtis moaned and groaned about having to go somewhere that takes forever to get to (40 minutes) but in the end I think they all had a great time. It was about 20 degrees cooler up in the Mountains.  It felt Heavenly…. Read more →

Wet n Wild

Wet n Wild

Our family was given some free Wet n Wild tickets so we could try out their park.  This is probably there third year being open but we just have not made it there.  We went on a Friday the kids had off of school.  It was a perfect day to go.  The weather was amazing and the crowds were slim. … Read more →

Half Marathon

Mary asked me awhile back if I wanted to join her in the Ogden half marathon. I told her yes thinking it would help me stay motivated in running.  Sadly that didn’t really happen. I broke my toe, threw out my back, thought it was too hot at 9am, didn’t want to wake up at 5am to go running….the list… Read more →

I don’t even know how to start this post without feeling a little sad. Our fun and super loving P.E.

Two Front Teeth

Two Front Teeth

Micah has finally lost his two front teeth.  The first one he lost had been dangling by a thread for a few days. I wanted to pull it out so bad but he wouldn’t let me.  Finally he let me try wrapping it in floss to see if it would come out and it did. The second tooth didn’t stick… Read more →

Curtis is 12!

Curtis is 12!

Curtis is now 12 years old. I can scarcely believe it.  Since it was an even year it was just a family celebration. It was a super busy day for me so I made cinnamon rolls for him for breakfast.  While he was at school we decorated the house.  He enjoyed opening presents and having cake later in the evening….
